Commercial sealant contractors in Bakers Arms, done properly
Commercial occupiers rarely want a floor out of action for sealant work. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them; phased work can also be planned so areas stay in use. It’s the same approach in offices, retail units, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. Most enquiries involve frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall and expansion joints with the sealant torn out, on washrooms and tea points, external facade joints and movement joints in walls and floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bakers Arms tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
The most common commercial job in Bakers Arms is resealing joints that have simply reached the end of their life: split, chalky or peeling, with leaks or mould starting behind it.
London’s commercial stock mixes period buildings turned into offices with modern glass and steel, so one job can involve stone, brick, powder-coated frames and laminate in a single visit. The right product goes on each, in a colour chosen to suit where the joint is seen.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Roof leaks that only look like a joint problem
- Leaks from pipework, wastes or valves (that’s plumbing)
- Removing asbestos-containing materials (a licensed or specialist contractor’s job)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- External facade joints
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Act on the first lifting edges rather than waiting
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
Add the resealed joints to your planned maintenance inspections. Regular checks pick up small failures before they become leaks, with external elevations and wet areas first in line. If anything looks wrong, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a photo.
Movement joints that fill with debris stop working. The joint can no longer close, so its edges crack or spall. At that point it’s a repair job rather than a reseal.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking part of a day on a small job and longer where several buildings or phases are involved. In Bakers Arms, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Work is phased around your occupiers where areas need to stay in use.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.

Advice
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Surface by surface
Washrooms and toilets
Around WCs, urinals, vanity tops, IPS panels and cubicles, sealant is wet most of the day. Old sealant comes out and a sanitary silicone with anti-mould additives goes in, phasing the rooms so not every toilet is closed at once.
Movement joints in walls and floors
A trafficked floor joint needs a different product from a wall joint. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it, and tell you if the edges need repairing first.
Shops, offices and hotels in and around Bakers Arms
Most London commercial buildings run contractors through a reception, a permit system and booked goods-lift slots. Our planning starts from those rules rather than working round them later. The 3 miles around Bakers Arms take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal.
In a retail centre such as Leyton Mills Retail Park (1.4 miles south of Bakers Arms), new tenants mean new shop fits, and the sealant at counters, frontages and floor edges is part of the finish. On estates like Lennox Trading Estate, which lies west of Bakers Arms, the office and welfare end of each unit has its own sealant to maintain. Occupiers with premises at both Lennox Trading Estate and Ravenswood Industrial Estate could have the sealant at each handled under one quote.

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

What site paperwork can you provide?

Do you check for asbestos before removing sealant?
In buildings from before 2000 in particular, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. We ask to see the asbestos register or survey before disturbing old sealant, and if something is suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How do we get a quote?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, and then a fixed quote for the agreed scope.
Can one contractor look after sealant on all our buildings?
Yes, within the areas we cover: South East England, Greater London and Scotland. One contact and one process for every building makes a portfolio easier to manage.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
